Karva Chauth is a very luxurious festival observed by married Hindu women. Karva Chauth is a one-day festival in which the female folks observe a strict fast from sunrise to moonrise for the longevity and protection of their husbands. Karva Chauth is observed on the ‘Chaturthi’ that is the 4th day of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the month of Kartik as per the Hindu calendar. Whereas according to the Amanta calendar that is followed in the Maharashtra, Gujarat and Southern India, Karva Chauth is observed during the ‘Ashwin’ month. Though, it is only the name of the month that differs in different states; the spirit of the festival remains the same in all places.Source : http://www.prokerala.com/
